SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 727,135, dated May 5,1903. Application led November 13, 1992. Serial No. 131,205. (No model.)

To all whom it Wray concern:

Beit known that I, PER J. HAssELQUIsr, a citizen of the United States,residing at Rhine- Iander, in the county of Oneida and State ofWisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Windows;and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertainsto make and use the same.

My invention is an improved window for houses, coaches, cars, and thelike; and it consstsin the peculiar construction and combination ofdevices hereinafter fully described and claimed.

One object of my invention is to provide a window which is hinged at oneside to the.

frame, whereby it may be entirely opened, and which is provided on itsouter side with a screen and is further provided with inwardly-openingsashes hinged thereto, whereby either or all of the inwardly-openingsashes may be opened to any desired extent whenV the window is closed.

A further object is to effect improvements in the construction of awindow-sash whereby it may be glazed without the use of putty andwhereby when a pane of glass becomes broken it may be readily removedand quickly replaced by another pane.

Another object of my invention is to provide a window of this characterin which the inwardly opening sashes may be partly opened to any desiredextent without danger of admitting rain.

A further object of my invention is to provide improved means forsecuring the inwardly-opening sashes at any desired attachment when thesame are partially opened.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an exterior elevation of awindow embodying myimprovements. tional view of the same taken on theplane indicated by the line a, a, of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an elevationshowing the inner side of my improved window with the sashes thereof ina closed position. Fig. 4 is avertical central sectional View of thesame. Fig. 5 is a' detail view showing the upper portion of one of theinwardly-opening sashes.

The window-frame A is here shown as of It may be of any de- Fig. 2 is atransverse sec-A sired construction, and I do not desire to limit myselfin `this particular. In the windowframe is an outwardly-openingl sash I,which I call the outersash and which is here shown as hinged to thewindow-frame at one side,'as at 2, Figs. 1 and 2. AAny suitable meansmay, within the scope of my invention, be employed to secure the outersash l in a closed position within the window-frame. I show a hook 3 forthis purpose. The outer sash l is covered on its outer side with ascreen 4, which may be either of wire-gauze or of anyother suitablefabric, and the same is hereshown as secured to the outer sash and tothe cross-bar 5 thereof by strips 6 and screws `7. Any suitable meansmay, within .the scope of my invention, be employed to secure the screenon :the outer side ofthe ontersash, A and I do not limit myself in. thisparticular; The outer sash l is provided with' a plurality ofinwardly-.opening inner or wicket sashes 7,two being here shown. Theseinnerl or wicket sashes are here shown as connected'at .their lowersides to the outer outwardly-.opening sash I by means of hinges S. Hencethe saidinnerror wicket sashes are adapted to be opened inwardly fromtheir upper sides and to be disposed angularly with relation to theouter .sash and when partly open to converge downwardly thereto. Whenthe inner or Wicket s'ashes areclosed in the outer sash l, they may besecured thereto by any suitable means. I here show bolts 9.

It will be observedjthat the strips 6, which clamp the edges ofy thescreen 4 to, the outer sash l,AV are disposed so as to project inwardlybeyond said sash and break joint with the outer edges of thewicket-sashes when the latter are closed-that is to say, cover thejoints vor crevices between said windoW-sashes and the outer sash,whereby the said strips 6 not only serve .to clampvthe screen 4 inplace, but serve as weather-strips to prevent the access of moisture orcold air to the interior of the room through said crevices.

In one side of the window-frame A are locking-plates I0, which arenotched, as at I1, and are disposed in .the paths ofth'e bolts 9 on oneside of the wicket or inner sashes, 7, so that they may be engaged bythe said bolts to secure the inner or Wicket sashes in any desiredposition when the same are partly IOO opened, as is indicated in dottedlines in Fig. 4. It will be observed by reference to the said figureVthat when the inner or wicket sashes are engaged by the lock-plates 10they are partly opened and are disposed in adown- Wardly-convergingposition with relation to the outer sash 1, and hence are adapted toexclude rain while admitting air. By thus providing 4the window-sash lwith inner or wicket sashes which are hingedly connected thereto, eitheror both of the wicket-sashes may be opened, and they may also beadjusted independently of each other, partly opened to any desiredextent. Further, it will be understood that with this arrangement of theouter sash the inner or wicket sashes enable access to be readily had toboth sides of the panes of glass l2 in theinner or wicket sashes, sothat the 'glass may be readily cleaned on both sides.

The sides Z1 and bottom cross-bars c of the inner or wicket sashes aregrooved, as at d, ou their inner sides to receive the glass panes l2.The upper cross-bar e of each of said inner or wicket sashes comprisestwo sections fand g, the latter being detachable from the former andhere shown as attachable thereto by screws h. This detachable section ghas a groove i to engage the upper side of the pane of glass. It will beunderstood that by irst removing the detachable section g the pane 0fglass may be readily removed Ifrom the sash by slipping it ont of thegrooves CZ. When the pane of glass becomes broken, it may be readilyreplaced and, furthermore, the use of putty in glazing the Wicket-sashesis entirely obviated.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the inventionwill be readily understood without requiring a more extendedexplanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what l claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of a window-frame, a sash hinged thereto, adownwardly-swinging wicket-sash hinged to the outer sash, a koepel' onthe outer sash, a lock-bolt on the wicketsash act-uable transverselythereof and adapted to engage the keeper when said windowsash is closed,and a notched locking-plate secured tothe window-frame and lying in thearc of movementof the bolt when the wicketsash is swung down and adaptedto be engaged by said bolt to adjustably support the Wicket-sash inpartly-opened position, whereby the bolt coacts with both the keeper andlocking-plate to lock the wicket-sash in either of said positions,substantially as described.

2. A window having an outer swinging sash provided With upper and lowerwicket-sashes hinged thereto at their lower ends and lying in the sameplane when closed, a screen on the outer side of the outer sash, andstrips secured to the outer sash and clamping the screen thereto, saidstrips being arranged to breakjoint with the edges of the swing-sasheswhen the latter are closed, to serve as weatherstrips to prevent theinlet of cold air and moisture through the crevices between the sashes,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto ser. my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
